>If you believe the alternate reality/timeline/dimensions then...When you transfer a Pokemon from 3rdGen to 6thGen games flavor text on the Pokemon says something along the lines of "it has traveled a long distance across space and time to meet you"
before 6th gen it only ever said "... across time to meet you"
This implies that 6th gen is another dimension/reality. Probably due to Mega evolutions because of that war 3,000 years ago and the machine that created megastones or whatever. In addition to the Zinnia talk that this entire thread has gone over with a magnifying glass. We can deduce that there is a non-mega timeline. We can assume that this is a possibility at the very least:
Gen1 = RSE >> Gen2 = Gen4 >> BW1 >> BW2 = XY(without Mega)
Gen1 = ORAS >> Gen2 = Gen4 >> BW1 >> BW2 = XY
>we can fill in the other Gens with their definitive games/remakes.FRLG = RSE >> HGSS = DPPt >> BW1 >> BW2 = XY (without Mega)
FRLG = ORAS >> HGSS = DPPt >> BW1 >> BW2 = XY
we can separate these differences with names. The first one being the Advance dimension/timeline (because it started with the Advance games). The second one being the Mega dimension/timeline (because of inclusion of Megas). Some fans mistake this as meaning the previous games not in 6th gen never occured, but they did. Just that Mega evolutions exist now. This opens GF to remake all those previous games.
>some people like to take this even further and include a 3rd reality/timeline. Which is not important to this discussion, but merits a mention:RGBY >> GSC
the Gameboy timeline/dimension
I hope this helps anyone.
